The American Caramel E90-1 issue is sometimes referred to as the T206
of
caramel issues, and has been dubbed "The Kraken" in some quarters due
to the challenges of collecting the 120 subjects found within. The set
was issued with a
stick of caramel that, as one might imagine, led to condition issues
which plague the set.
This colorful example shoes some of that on the front, with more staining on the back. The card's grade comes from the top right corner being missing, as well as the initials "JT" and the number "86" being written in blue crayon on the reverse. Nevertheless, the scarcity of this issue far outweighs any perceived cosmetic flaws on this example.
PSA has only ever graded 23 total examples of this 1909-11 E90-1 American
Caramel card higher than the Authentic Altered of Mike Mitchell being offered here.
